MARKETING:1.SHAZAM has evolved into a global solution for MUSIC and MEDIA industry by connecting more than 250 million people, in more than 200 countries in 33 languages.2. Enabled people to use Shazam free and unlimited just not only for music, but also for TV shows and television advertising.This freemium version was ad supported and revenue stream was de-emphasised here,which led to more usage and hence revenue generation through ads and huge publicity due to open source nature.3.To reach out the people who wanted ad-free experience, premium service was introduced(Shazam Encore) which in turn generated revenue. Thus it maintanced a nice balance between its open source and paid nature,both of which was a good marketing strategy.4.
